As you've certainly seen by now, Manny Machado was in the middle of some heated exchanges with the Oakland Athletics last the weekend.

However, it was Machado's "bat slip" that will cost him five games. Honestly, the more you watch the highlight, the more intentional it looks. He's lucky the ban isn't in the 10-game range.

You don't need to make any moves at this point since Machado plans to appeal, but whether he ends up serving the full five games or gets his ban reduced, it's not that big of a deal since he hasn't been tearing things up since returning from the disabled list anyway. It's really more of an annoyance than anything, but fantasy owners should be more concerned about the possibility of Machado being demoted. That sounds extreme ... but possible.
